Dear Unregistered,
It takes a tremendous amount of work and resources to keep BCF humming. I work hard to keep BCF a civil, friendly and informative place where the focus is on a great hobby! If you find BCF a useful resource, please consider >>subscribing<< and help ensure we stay online for years to come! You are certainly under no obligation to support BCF, but I honestly could not keep doing this without them. PS: Subscribers won't see this banner

The Lucas ignition switch, 394150, completely fell apart. It is behind the actual lock and is the type where the steering wheel locks. I've got the thing off the column and verified the part number. However, I'm having some difficulties trying to find a new one. I"ve tried XKS and they sent the wrong part for a series i. Any ideas?

TRF has the cage nuts for the headlight mounting. Part number: CD24855 at a price of $2.48 each. If you need all six nuts it may be cheaper to buy the mounting kit that also includes new screws and washers: RFK1899 for $15.97 that will mount both headlights.
